Chapter 210 Ruan Xia discovered that her manager didnt seem happy with her marriage (2)
Anyways, by now, no matter what kind of benefits the company gave its employees, she wouldnt find it strange. In her mind, the boss, who had never appeared, was the type with too much money and not enough intelligence. Even Song Tingshen had said he had never seen someone run a company like this.
A vacation on an island? Thats pretty good, Ruan Xia said.
Genuinely happy, the receptionist said, I think so too. My boyfriend is going to come too. Weve been dating for so long and havent gone traveling together.
When Ruan Xia heard her saying that, her first reaction was; they could bring family members?
Based on this companys excellent benefits and how generous their boss was, that wasnt impossible. It would be great to take advantage of the company to go on family vacation!
We can bring along our family members? Thats great. I dont know if my husband will have time. I want to take my son to the island to play. Hell definitely be very happy.
Song Tingshen might not have the free time to go with her, but she should be able to bring Little Wang with her. After all, it was easy to take time off from the kindergarten. In Ruan Xias opinion, taking a child out on a trip would increase his knowledge and give him more happy memories.
That afternoon, the company sent an email informing the employees about the trip and requesting them to bring photocopies of their IDs to the front desk in order for the company to book plane tickets and rooms at a hotel.
It was stated in the email that employees who werent permanent staff couldnt bring family members. Paying out-of-pocket for their relatives to come was also not okay because this was a company retreat.
Ruan Xia had been at the company for almost a month, and the trial period was one month. Thinking that she would become a permanent employee within a few days, she went looking for her manager to ask about this matter. Although she wasnt lacking in money and it wouldnt be difficult for her to take Little Wang on a separate vacation, she still wanted to take advantage of the companys benefits if it was possible.
Looking as if she was being put in a difficult position, the manager said, Ruan Xia, we cant do that. Although youll be converted to a permanent staff in two days, the company sent out the email today. Youre still on your trial period as of today, so you cant bring along a family member. How about this? Wait until next time. Anyways, the company will organize other trips.
Ruan Xia could understand this excuse, so she smiled and said, Okay, I got it.
If she couldnt bring Little Wang along, then she had no interest in going on this trip. She wasnt familiar with her coworkers. However, she knew that couldnt skip out on a group activity like this one. Otherwise, people might say she was unsociable. Well, looking at it from another angle, at least this type of informal group activity was better than team-building exercises
She just hoped that this trip wouldnt last for too long.
The island trip was tentatively scheduled for five days and four nights. They would depart on Thursday morning and return to the capital city on Monday night.
Ruan Xia naturally told Song Tingshen about this matter. I thought I could bring a family member and wanted to bring Little Wang with me, but since Im not a permanent employee yet, I cant enjoy this benefit.
Of course, she could only say these words to Song Tingshen. If Little Wang found out that he had originally come so close to being able to go, he would definitely fuss about going.
Song Tingshen watched her stuffing clothes into her suitcase and asked, Am I not your family member?
Ruan Xia truly couldnt stand the ambiguity of his teasing. Was he intentionally trying to tease her or not? Why cant he just speak directly about what he means?!
If he didnt mean it that way, then he shouldnt say these specious words that would cause her to misunderstand. If he was interested in her, couldnt he be more of a man about it? Just tell her. Dont beat around the bush.
